Insulated bottle receptacle



Oct. 15, 1929. E. G. HlNEs INSULATED BOTTLE RECEPTACLE Filed Aug. 24,1927 Patented Oct. 15, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE INSULTED BOTTLEBECEPTACE Application led August 24, 1927. Serial No. 215,230.

This invention relates to special receptacles and more particularly to areceptacle to receive a milk bottle and may, therefore, be referred toas a bottle cabinet.

One object of the invention is to provide a receptacle of this characterhaving its body and cover insulated to exclude heat and cold so thatwhen a bottle of milk is placed in the cabinet it will not be liable tofreeze in cold Weather or become sour during hot weather.

Another object ofthe invention is to pro- \vide the cabinet with a linerspaced from the body of thefcabinet'by the insulation and removable sothat it may be thoroughly cleaned and the insulation repaired or renewedwhen necessary.

Another object of the invention is to form the insulation of sheetsdisposedagainst the bottom and the walls of the body, the sheets ofinsulation which fit against the walls of the body' carrying verticallydisposed strips which retain the walls of the liner spaced from theinsulating sheets to define deadsair spaces and also constitutes skidsto facilitate insertion and removal of the liner.

Another object of the invention is to so form the body that it may becheaply produced and easily secured against a wall or other support.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure1 is a view showing the improved bottle receptacle in front elevation;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through Y the receptacle taken onthe line 22 yof Fig.

c 1, and

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional vlew taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

The body portion of the improved bottle receptacle or cabinet ispreferably formed/.of sheet metal and includes a front wall' 1, a rearwall 2, side Walls 3 and a bottom 4. By

referring to Fig. 2, itwill be seen that the bottom constitutes acontinuation'of the rear wall and is bent upwardly and soldered orotherwise rigidly secured to the front and side walls. Al substantiallytubular blank is employed when forming the body and is crimpedlongitudinally, as shown in Fig. 3,

to define the walls which are fiat and are The cover 10 is hinged to therear wall, as

'oined by front and rear ilan es 5 and 6.

hese flanges are of double t ickness and the rear flanges projectoutwardly beyond the front flanges and are formed with o enin S 7, asshown in Fig. 1, through w ich sultable fasteners, such as nails orscrews, may be passed to firmly secure the receptacle to a wall, doorframe or any other support. By referring to Figs. 1 and 2, it will beseen that the rear wall projects upwardly to form a headboard 8 in whichone or more fastener receivmg openings 9 are formed and that the upperedgesof the side Walls slope downwardly from the rear wall to the frontwall.

shown at 11, and is provided with depending ianges 12 to overhang thefront and side walls, a hasp 13 being secured to the front flange andmovable into and out of engagement with a keeper or staple 14 whichprojects from the front wall. A sheet l5 of asbestos or any othersuitable insulating material is disposed within the cover and isretained in place by a sheet metal covering 16 preferably soldered tothe ,depending flanges of the cover.

The liner whichfits withintthe body is also formed of metal and includesa bottom 17, front and rear walls 18 and 19 and side walls 20. The linerconforms to the contour of the body, as shown in Fig. 3, and its wallshave their upper end portions bent outwardly to provide ianges 21 whichcontact with the front, rear and side walls of the body but are notsecured thereto. A sheet 22 of asbestos or any other suitable insulatinmaterial is placed in the bottom of the bo y and other sheets 23 aredisposed in the body against the inner surfaces of its walls. Thesevertically disposed insulating sheets carry metal strips 24 which extendvertically in spaced relation to the sheets of insulation and have theirends bent about the upper and lower edges of the sheets and tightlycrimped into engagement therewith, as shown at 25. Since the strips 24are disposed in spaced relation to the insulating sheets, they willretain the walls of the liner spaced from the insulation and define adead-air space about the liner Iwhich will assist to prevent heat andcold necessary to remove dirt from the liner it can be very easily drawnoutwardly and after being thoroughly cleaned replaced.

Having thus described the inventlon, I claim:

1. An insulated receptacle comprlslng abody open at its top and havingthe inner surfaces of its Walls uninterrupted throughout its depth, aremovable liner for said body spaced from the walls and bottom of thebody and having flanges at the upper ends of its walls extending to thewalls of the body, sheets of insulating material between the liner andbottom and walls of the body and readily removable when theliner isremoved, strips of flat metal carried by the insulation sheets betweenthe walls of the liner and body and exv tending vertically and bearingagainst the walls of the liner to retain the liner spaced from theinsulation and frictionally hold the liner in place and dening skids tofacilitate insertion and removal of the liner, and a cover for saidbody.

body o en at its top, a removable liner for said bo y spaced from thewalls and bottom of the body and having anges at the up er ends of itswalls extending to the walls of t e body, sheets of insulating materialbetween the liner and bottom and walls of the body, spacing stripscarried by insulation sheets between 2. An insulated receptaclecomprising a` 4. A receptacle comprising a body consisting of a tubularmember bent longitudinally to form front, rear and side walls and Hangesconnecting the walls and projecting transversely therefrom, the rearwall having an extended lower portion bent forwardly and joined to thefront and side Walls to provide a bottom for the body.

5. A receptacle comprising a body consisting of a tubular member bentlongitudinally to form front, rear and side Walls and fianges connectingthe 'walls and projecting transversely therefrom, the rear wall havingan extended lower portion bent forwardly and joined to the front andside walls to provide a bottom for the body, the rear Wall being ofgreater dimensions than .the front wall and the flanges' connecting itwith the side walls proj ect-ing outwardly beyond the front flanges andhaving fastener receiving openings formed therein.

In testimony whereof' I affix my signature.
